-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 The National Security Agency at the Crossroads (Austin: Apr 3-4) https://strausscenter.org/details/279-privacy-surveillance-and-the-nsa.html
If you review the agenda and speaker list, you'll see this event is a pretty big deal. > The Intelligence Studies Project is a joint venture of the Strauss > Center and Clements Center at the University of Texas at Austin, > aiming to encourage policy-relevant academic inquiry into the past, > present, and future of intelligence agencies and the legal, policy, > and technological environments in which they operate. Nothing > better illustrates the need for such inquiry than the events of the > past year surrounding the National Security Agency. As part of a > larger effort to improve public understanding of those events, the > Robert S. Strauss Center for International Security and Law and the > William P. Clements Jr. Center for History, Strategy & Statecraft > are hosting a major interdisciplinary conference focused on the NSA > from April 3rd through 4th. It will cover topics including the > history of the NSA, the role of the media in revealing classified > information about its activities, the legal architecture in which > it operates, the compliance and oversight mechanisms associated > with the NSA, the diplomatic fallout from the recent revelations, > and the prospects for reform. Although open to the public, the event is already waitlisted. I'm aware of at least a few concerned citizens who signed up to attend and plan to document the event through various channels. http://www.eventbrite.com/e/privacy-surveillance-and-the-nsa-tickets-8953832153 If you have an interest in this event you'd like to discuss, please contact me off list. gf - -- Gregory Foster || gfos...@entersection.org @gregoryfoster <> http://entersection.com/ -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.19 (Darwin) Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJTM62eAAoJEMaAACmjGtgj8NsP/AxHR2VOTHivwqv7MmnkZ9kS l+kFi9RC9ZB0e80jAljc32FnIRWhhmry1/BOU9dgtWEzmcpfInAQdTHV01droXT1 XlxiEvVfv5Sh7Ln3gE4nv2UgUFTy8GXZAmRoVilr/SCietQd5nOFoWhzLPEsnfGw PYAUE5FHu4Sh2tEcCJDSGPZOe/Rd7QvlU4qd3drTOwnC840X5x0CtylGXVWHxMcl K/nAzuMkhB+Zd3tErka2yR7vw42Ch5PeT6qN3c5TtLywhAVSamqQjzWfeJdx6NMk /F89Q8oJcJ1zLfpePhuj+m4FRCTq3/ONmk+d4NpwRAP5v+BeXk4EyHadibf5GJX2 7IUlR77p1cTi//QvwvkQq0iBnESBDRu+JaUI8fX2bluuIK9PZnS/AJG4A8KE9ujo wciHmFk0uAuxw5GqHNF0VLo8JQjc2DDNcmsHheVXuzE9txMShdgonWPoxVfouXys JetLGAZwFhbxfku5bXpqVYnNLQi5FfMaIEZ6saT8cEWdbuCpbuXKSAsEMSY/LIjK DaITHHO+YiRD7qlM/TakpI934F925k4pQ3rA3Y32ObihacjQHysN2LkOhUPuITY7 RLbUCbww1Dcb0QGUgib7INSRTWnN+vt+fsN07jgTtXr60VfXdGF3pUHAxqZ9d/nX esziR2DQx3s7u+15clcf =Wdx1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Liberationtech is public & archives are searchable on Google.
